Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune-Chapter 130

129: Explanation (4 more b)

Routuan was truly pampered by Xie Zhinuan, spoiled and doted on.

After raising it for several months, it never experienced hardship.

This time, it truly suffered greatly.

Xie Zhinuan didn’t know how it got injured, but thought that she should make it up to it.

She moved it to its nest, then Xie Zhinuan got up and went to the kitchen.

Sha Niu had already boiled ten eggs in plain water.

“Miss, are ten eggs enough? How is Routuan? Is it okay?” Sha Niu whispered.

“It’s fine, just minor injuries, it’ll recover in a couple of days!” Xie Zhinuan lifted the pot lid to check the eggs.

“I’ll make an egg custard!”

With that, she began to do it herself, cracking the eggs, stirring, and steaming them in a pot.

Sha Niu watched Xie Zhinuan and hesitated to speak.

Xie Zhinuan looked up at her with a gentle, slight smile, “Speak your mind.”

“Miss, are you very angry that we were sent by the master as spies?” Sha Niu asked.

Her eyes fixed intently on Xie Zhinuan.

There was a bit of worry and a bit of discomfort.

“…”

After thinking it over seriously, Xie Zhinuan said, “I can’t say I’m very angry, nor can I say I’m disappointed. If it wasn’t you, it would have been someone else. Compared to others, having you come to my home has made my life a lot easier, and I’ve made quite a bit of money!”

Hardworking and efficient, without any dragging of feet.

Everything instructed was done well, saving worry and effort.

Initially, the anger was mixed with some fear and trepidation, given her possession of the space, which was a significant secret.

The idiom ‘A man without guilt, possessing a jade, invites crime’ was too clear to her.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. From now on, stay here with peace of mind, and just don’t report everything I do or say back to Yuanbao!”

“Miss, in fact, to this point, Yuanbao has not once inquired about anything concerning you from us, and we have not spoken a word. In the master’s eyes, we are the lowest rank of spies, not even worthy to be named,” Sha Niu pulled up a seat, “Actually, we really like living with you. Whether you believe it or not, if the day comes when we have to choose, we will choose you!”

The last of her words were earnest.

Xie Zhinuan pursed her lips, staying silent.

“Perhaps you might feel that we are liars and our words can’t be trusted, but in this world, time is the best way to test a lie-let’s let time prove everything!”

After opening up her heart.

Although Xie Zhinuan didn’t speak, her gaze towards Sha Niu was much warmer.

Compared to not knowing who was friend or foe, a person like Sha Niu was more reassuring to rely on.

As long as she didn’t do anything to harm the noble gentleman next door, these three were the most trustworthy.

“Okay!”

Xie Zhinuan thought for a moment and then asked, “What’s the story with your master?”

Sha Niu was surprised.

That Xie Zhinuan would ask.

“A prince. He went to the Frontier in his early years to fight wars. After coming back, he couldn’t eat anything. Whatever he ate, he would vomit. These past three years, he has been travelling abroad seeking medical help. Last time in the county city’s Yuanji, the food you made was eaten by the master without him vomiting, which is why there was a series of arrangements afterward…”

A prince, huh…

No wonder!

No wonder Yuanbao kept stressing his master’s extraordinary status, no wonder the County Magistrate and the Town Chief had to bow their heads in submission.

She was too nonchalant, to not take such a person seriously.
